I didn´t observed directly the XO in use, but I´m very skeptical about
expert reviewers from outside of the target community. If the
interface is different maybe that´s because the situation is
different. The XO is a socially oriented machine. Any fair evaluation
must be in a social context, not by a context unaware individual.

The XO was tested in many schools in the world. Here are videos of XO
in use in a brazilian classroom (Luciana de Abreu School - Porto
Alegre):
